Rat Trap

FA Eric Reynolds, Dave Huntley

UPDATED 

Description

This is rated 5.9 in The Grand Junction Climbing guidebook. The FAist is not listed.

This is harder than 5.9, and there is need for gear up to a #8...the final 15 feet is a squeeze chimney (I'm 5.3 and 130 lbs). Rap from a slung chockstone.

If you climb deeper inside the "Rat Trap", you will be caught in a constriction higher up. Squeeze up the outside of the chimney to top out.

Location

This is just left of the A that makes P1 of

Titus Groan

.

Protection

2x #3 to #5, plus some slings for the chockstones, finally a #7 and #8, and this will be sewn up.
